Selecting   the   USB   interface   (VCP   or   MSD)   

   
This   batch   demo   application   supports   3   methods   of   retrieving   your   barcode   data   file   from   
the   OPN:   
   

 

USB   Mass   Storage   Device   (MSD)   

   

 

USB   Virtual   Com   Port   (USB-­‐VCP)   using   NetO32   to   retrieve   the   file   

   

 

CRD2000   multicradle   using   NetO32   to   retrieve   the   file   

(OPN2002   only)

   

   

After   loading   this   software   on   the   OPN   for   the   first   time,   the   application   will   automatically   
be   reset   to   USB-­‐VCP   default.   
   
If   you   would   like   to   use   your   OPN   as   a   USB   Mass   Storage   Device,   read   the   label   below.   

   

(The   labels   below   can   be   read   without   reading   any   SET/END   labels)   

 

USB-MSD default  

 

 

More   information   on   how   to   use   your   OPN   as   USB   Mass   Storage   Device   will   be   given   in   
chapter   8.   
   
To   switch   back   to   USB-­‐VCP   default   (i.e.   to   load   software)   read   the   label   below.

More   information   on   how   to   use   your   OPN   as   USB-­‐VCP   will   be   given   in   Chapter   7.   

 

Independent   of   whether   you   configured   your   OPN2002   as   Mass   Storage   Device   (MSD)   or   as   
USB-­‐VCP,   it’s   allows   possible   to   transmit   your   barcodes   using   the   CRD2000   multicradle   in   
combination   with   the   NetO32-­‐file   transfer   application.
